A creamy, nourishing pudding packed with omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, calcium, fiber and protein.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups almond milk or nut milk of choice
  • 1 cup frozen or fresh raspberries
  • 1–2 Tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 scoops collagen (optional)
  • 6 Tablespoons chia seeds

Raspberry Compote 

Recipe can easily be doubled

  • 1 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 Tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Blend the almond milk, raspberries, maple syrup, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla and collagen (if using) together on high till smooth.
  2. Pour into a bowl, stir in the chia until evenly combined.
  3. Stir every 5 minutes for the first 15 minutes. It will be very thin at first but the chia will thicken the liquid creating a perfect pudding texture.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Add additional nut milk if you like it thinner.
  5. Serve for breakfast, snack or dessert with toppings of choice.
  6. The pudding will last about 5 days.

Raspberry Compote

  • Place raspberries and maple syrup in a small saucepan on medium low heat.
  • Cover, once bubbling, reduce heat to low and use a fork or wooden spoon to mash the fruit.
  • Continue cooking over low heat  for 5-10 minutes, mashing occasionally to get a nice fruit sauce. (Frozen strawberries need to cook longer).
  • Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. It will thicken more as it cools, but it can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. 
  • Store in the refrigerator for 5 days. 

Notes

Cook time refers to the amount of time it needs to thicken.  No cooking required.

My favorite nut milk for chia pudding is almond milk.  I love the sweet taste. It’s best to make it fresh, click for recipe, but store bought is easier. Look for almond milk without carrageenan. I like this brand available in many health food stores.
